Well, I think its been about a month since I've blogged regularly. I finally got my Internet hooked up in the new house yesterday (Hubby and I are no longer in the sticks of Texas, but rather the Big D!!). So, I have been typing typing typing trying to catch up on everything that I haven't been able to say in the past month. These are pictures of my very sad empty bookshelf and the many boxes of books that I still have not unpacked (I do have a few shelves full now and all of my "challenge" books in order).

The kicker is that now that I'm all caught up and starting to get settled, Hubby and I are leaving next Saturday for our cruise to Alaska, so I'll be gone yet again. *Sigh* (Well sort of *sigh* since I'm rockin' excited!)

So, basically here's what I've been up to the past month (in reading anyway). The links will take you to the corresponding post:

Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood (mostly for fun and because I love all things Atwood)

We should *hopefully* be moving house next month so I understand your lack of blogging. Your book shelf looks lovely and will look even better when it is full of books! I want to read Cats Eye and Keeping Faith, I really enjoy both authors.

Oh, what a lovely blog you have! Another book fiend, may I add you to my links?

Margaret Atwood's Cat's Eye felt in many ways like the story of my childhood. I haven't read it in years, but I remember feeling exactly how she described (particularly in her peer relationships when friends were not being friends). The Robber Bride is my all time favorite Atwood book.

Joy - Thanks! We are very very excited for this trip. I'm toying with the idea of starting a "travelblog" but I am notoriously bad at journaling--except books.

Bellezza - Yes, please do. I've had you on my list for a while, but have not been blogging much lately! I own The Robber Bride and hope to read it soon, but I haven't heard much about it. Glad you liked it. Cat's Eye so far is my least favorite, but I still really enjoyed it. I, too, remembered the emotions and experiences she described in the book. Sometimes it was a little haunting.

Congratulations on getting through the move. I appreciate your stopping by my blog especially since you must have lots to do still; thanks muchly! Anyway, the cruise to Alaska sounds like a blast, have a lovely time. :)
